BXBX NOVEL Chapter 307 - Fire Vs Fire
Both Rank 4 Magi were pulled into Zatiel\'s direction, and they remained floating right in front of the Neo-Demon.
Andras did not show any emotion when he saw this. Zatiel and Sirius were still inside the range of attack from the Daybreak Magic Tower, and he would not risk receiving an attack with the full power of the Sunlight Core.
Zatiel put the palms of his hands on the back of the heads of the duo and closed his eyes for a moment as he concentrated. The eclipse, in his Bloodline Heart, began to shine with a mysterious purple light and two drops of purple blood, full of minute runes, rose from it.
From each of the palms of the Neo-Demon, one of those drops came out. They entered the heads of Sirius and Jenner before covering the duo in purple flames so thick that their bodies could not be seen.
The purple fire disappeared less than a minute after it swallowed the bodies of the duo. What appeared instead of Sirius and Jenner were two exact copies of Zatiel.
The appearance of these copies surprised everyone, but soon that surprise transformed into disbelief as the consciousness of the Soul Forging existences from the Daybreak Clan and the Dragonstone Kingdom analyzed them.
If it was only the appearance of Zatiel that those copies mimicked, then although they would be surprised and a little confused by his action, there was no reason to be impressed.
However, what was detected in them was Zatiel\'s unparalleled bloodline, his laws, and the unique abilities of his eyes. They even felt the bizarre characteristics of his soul aura that seemed to be formed by different entities and yet still be one homogeneous force.
The only thing that separated them was that the physical might the copies expressed was inferior to the one of the Neo-Demon.
Andras was shocked for a moment before returning to his calm self. His consciousness was stronger than the Soul Forging existences beneath him, so he was able to have a clearer idea about the power of the clones.
"Clones that can display fifty to sixty percent of your body strength, and the same control over the laws that the original possesses. To build these things with such ease, what laws are the ones you control?"
Creating clones and incarnations is not very hard for individuals who have awoken their True Souls, like Heinz with his Blood Incarnation. However, a lot of time and resources are needed to build them.
Ninety-nine percent of clones and incarnations were controlled by Seeds of Consciousness, and the might of the laws they can express is limited.
For those whose power is connected to a bloodline, this process is even more complicated.
In Andras\' case, he would need to hunt down an adult Ash Dragon and carefully extract his bloodline. Even then, it would be difficult for a clone to express all the power of the bloodline since those at Rank 4 and above have a connection to the True Soul, a thing clones don\'t have.
To generate these clones, Zatiel used the Innate Spell his Rebirth Eclipse Bloodline granted him once his advance to Rank 4 was completed.
The spell\'s name was Rebirth Incarnation. What it did was to use the eclipse in Zatiel\'s Bloodline Heart to create a drop of blood that contains a law diagram with all the information about the Neo-Demon.
The drop of blood would then be put in a living vessel that needs to be in the same Rank that Zatiel. After that, the law diagram would galvanize the soul, energy, and body of the vessel to give birth to a copy of the Neo-Demon.
Creating each drop of blood put great pressure on the eclipse in his heart, so Zatiel could not have more than two of his Rebirth Incarnations active at the same time.
The True Soul and energy pool of Jenner and Sirius were strong enough to transform into a copy of the ones of Zatiel after being ignited. However, their bodies were so weak that they could not fully display the might of the Neo-Demon\'s body.
Zatiel ignored the question of his opponent and instead focused on his Rebirth Incarnations.
\'Their bodies may be weaker, but by using my rebirth fire and laws, their striking power should be sufficient. They are burning the soul, energy, and body of the duo to remain active. During a battle, the consumption will grow, but they will last enough, at least for this fight.\'
Only after assessing his new spell did Zatiel\'s eyes landed again in Andras. His perception was powerful, but the might of the Magus\' law made it difficult to perform any type of analysis.
"Aren\'t you angry that I killed your son?" Zatiel detected that even after seeing Sirius being consumed by his purple flames, Andras never showed anger.
When the King of the Dragonstone Kingdom heard that, a small smile appeared on his face.
"He was useless, a complete waste. You did me a favor by killing him since I will no longer have to clean his mess. Of course, you will have to pay for that, or else I will be the laughing stock of the Magi World."
Zatiel did not find Andras\' answer odd. In a universe where the goal was immortality, the bond between father and son can be strong, weak, or even non-existing.
Mortals give birth to children to pass down their bloodline and maintain a piece of them in the world after they are gone, but for beings seeking eternity, children have another purpose. They can be powerful helpers, someone to keep an eye on their territories, or sometimes nothing more than a vessel they can possess in case their bodies are lost.
The Neo-Demon nodded to the response of the Magus and proceeded to break the space by his side. He and his Rebirth Incarnations were sucked into the crack that was formed.
Andras looked at the sky and saw the trio appear thousands of kilometers above the City of the Sun. The King knew that fighting in the sky would allow his opponent to focus completely on the battle since he would not have to contain himself or worry about his city.
However, he also did not want to fight in a place so close to a dangerous weapon that could harm him greatly, and that was filled with people that could injure him if he wasn\'t careful.
The Magus also broke the space by his side, and a moment later, he appeared a couple of thousand meters away from Zatiel.
For beings of their power, the distance between each other was insignificant, and they could cover it instantly. But, none of them moved from their position and just focused on their opponent.
From Andras\' body, the full might of his energy pool was released. A scorching dark red aura full of blazing energy appeared in the sky and launched itself to Zatiel.
The eyes of the Neo-Demon and the two Rebirth Incarnations glowed, and they unleashed the power of their own energy pools. From each of them, a grey aura saturated with extremely dense and heavy energy appeared.
The grey aura of Zatiel and the two Rebirth Incarnation fused into a single force before clashing with the dark red aura.
Thunder and lightning filled the sky as the two powerful energies collided.
A giant grey and red tornado appeared around the duo, and it extended for thousands of meters. The power in its winds was high enough to tear apart the bodies of weak Rank 4 life forms, and if they were closer to the ground, they would contaminate everything in a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
Andras\' energy pool was several times larger than the one of Zatiel, and he had made modifications to it, enhancing it with blazing attributes.
However, the energy pool of the Neo-Demon contained the extremely high-grade energy that was Elemental Chaos. By combining it with the ones of his Rebirth Incarnations, he could match the force of the energy pool of a seasoned Law Engraving existence with a King bloodline.
After a minute of fighting, neither of the auras proved to be superior to the other, and both Zatiel and Andras made them return.
Neither of them spoke a word, and they only made their weapons appear.
Andras made gloves and boots full of spikes with red runes appear on his body. From his back, two giant black roots that appear to belong to an apocalyptic tree emerged.
A bone sword appeared in the hands of Zatiel and the two Rebirth Incarnations. They sent their Elemental Chaos to the swords, lighting up the runes in them and making a hellish blue fire appear.
The purple fire that was filling the body of the trio mixed with the blue fire, greatly increasing the power in the swords, but they did not finish there.
They activated the unique abilities of the Absolute Solar Yang True Doomsday Body. A torrent of purple and blue fire was released from the bone swords.
The next moment, those flames that extended for hundreds of meters began to compress themselves until the only thing that was left was a thin purple and blue line of fire covering the edge of the bone swords.
Zatiel and Andras looked at each other before disappearing.
The next moment, an explosion of red, blue, and purple fire filled the sky. The heat in it was higher than you would find on the surface of a Low World\'s sun.
